Creative Resources Directory

Welcome to the Radio Creative Resources Directory. We’ve compiled a list of Radio production companies and studios in response to numerous requests from advertisers and agencies who want to find companies that specialize in writing, casting and producing GREAT Radio spots. Our current edition contains over 60 companies, including many Radio-Mercury Award winners. We have indicated those companies that have won Mercury Awards, either directly or as part of a team with an agency, by listing “Radio-Mercury Awards Winner(s).” Companies who were the primary winners of a Grand prize Award are noted as such.

Our goal is to keep the directory as up-to-date as possible. If you notice an error in a listing, please notify us. If you want to have your Radio production company or studio listed, please contact Meghan Buonocore at 212-681-7215 or email mercury@rab.com.

This directory has been compiled by the Radio-Mercury Awards with the support of the Radio Advertising Bureau, a sponsor of the Radio-Mercury Awards.

At Radio Savant Productions, we’re confident enough about our work that we don’t go flaunting our accomplishments. We don’t gush about our 1997 $100,000 Radio-Mercury Awards Grand Prize, or the Clios or the One Show or Cannes. We don’t brag about the 1997 Andys (the first time Radio ever took the Grand Prize). We’d never drop names like Nissan, Jack in the Box, Ortho, Everready or Glendale Federal Banks. And we’re not about to quote that ADWEEK piece that said, “April Winchell has almost single-handedly reinvented Radio as a red-hot genre.” Because, frankly, that would be immature. And we have no patience for immaturity. And if you have a problem with that, well, you’re a doody-head.
